For consistency in care, detailed records are kept for current and future visits.

Step 2

Daily Routine and Care

Based on your dog’s temperament evaluation and the preferences you’ve shared, they will be placed in a customized group designed for their specific needs. The boarding or daycare plan you choose will also dictate their playgroup, exercise routine, mealtimes, nap periods, and the amount of one-on-one attention they receive.

Step 3

Grooming and Spa Treatments

If grooming and spa services are scheduled, your dog will receive the treatments you selected during your booking. Treatments include Bathing, Blow-drying, Brushing, Haircut and styling, and Additional add-ons.
